Quality vs Quantity

At Roots & Wings Merino, ethical and sustainable fashion is at the heart of what we do. Because children are born pure and they deserve an honest start.

We are actively involved in the entire process; from sourcing the wool and knitting the fabrics, through to manufacturing and delivery - all done in New Zealand. This philosophy has just seen us singled out as a Best Practice example of a transparent, ethical clothing company (more about that below).

Be a Slow Fashionista Too

In our latest blog, we talk about slow fashion. We also give our top tips to how you can be a slow fashionista too.

We'll reveal the first tip here:

1) Acknowledge that a real person made your garment - it didn't pop out of a machine ready-made.

Roots and Wings Singled Out as Best Practice

Our philosophy of transparency around our process and our belief in adopting slow fashion principles (a mindset of quality over quantity), has seen us identified as a best practice example, among numerous other brands.

Founder, Stine Smith was interviewed by North American Hubba.com - an online market place for craft brands and retailers.

"...what attracts her loyal consumer-base most is her direct and sincere approach. From keeping an ongoing conversation with her shoppers to letting them know exactly how each garment is made, Stine proves that she understands the importance of brand authenticity better than most."
